Exhaust pain in the @#!

HiHo I bought these targa's from a fellow forum member with the pipe that runs off the back of the resonator. Pretty nice setup but not fun to install. The 4 bolt flange didn't match up to my resonator at all so it had to go then a custom flange was made to get things to hook up. resonator gone-straight pipe in.

However it was a good way to spend the day in the garage with my dad.

Sounds great, but what sounded better was your Dad saying "I think you'll like it". Spending time with your Dad is what it is all about.

Cool project. First thing when I got my Vette my dad and I were under it changing the clutch... now he calls me for mechanical help. At least it is work on the vette too... the time I came to visit and ended up swapping the trans in the truck ... not the same kind of fun. Enjoy it!

Looks and sounds good. Enjoy

Few members will be interested on listening to your YT clip. They always wonder how the muffler eliminators sounds.

Sounds great...is there any "Drone" when you drive at lower rpm?

I'm stuck at work all weekend. Monday I'll be taking it home to put in the garage. I plan on shooting a video inside the car at various rpm's for sound purposes. To answer your question I don't actually know as its not made it out of the drive way yet.
